The automotive engineer who first said, “hey let’s use the horn as the user feedback to let em know the remote locks locked”:
@bikepedantic haha yeah, my kid found my keys one day and was delighted to discover that feature.
@bikepedantic do people not know you can turn this feature off or not care?
@chrisbegley @bikepedantic How do I turn this feature off in someone else's car?
@bikepedantic For all the problems of EVs, I'm actually glad they're pushing companies to do full-on exterior sound design. Now there isn't an excuse to come up with new audio cues that aren't a horn or engine rev.
@bikepedantic also for the car companies that still have car alarms. Who actually finds those helpful?!
@bikepedantic @inliuofjoan the person who added a panic button to my keyfob that I have only ever hit by accident.
@ef4 @bikepedantic @inliuofjoan right next to the one that starts the heater 😂
@bikepedantic That's always a jarring difference when spending time in Germany vs the US.
